  1. 6. Procedural generation and weathering of building facades : Replicating shape and distribution of wear-and-tear on real-world building facades

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Love Wessman; [2023]
    Keywords : procedural modeling; building facades; wear and tear; procedurell modellering; byggnadsfasader; slitage;

    Abstract : Manual modeling of building facades can be a cumbersome process. Instead, procedurally modeling building facades is a practical and quick way to achieve impressive visual results. This paper presents a method for prototyping 2D facades existing in a 3d environment, with the inclusion of shading-based procedural wear-and-tear. READ MORE

  3. 7. Analysis of the impacts of climate change on the energy use and indoor environmental quality in an office

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : LOVÍSA ÓSK GUNNARSDÓTTIR; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As the climate continues to change in upcoming years, the building sector will face serious and challenging problems where buildings will need to be adapted to withstand the changes. This study examined the impact of climate change on the energy need and indoor thermal comfort of an office building in Stockholm, Sweden. READ MORE

  4. 8. Proposal for revised criteria for daylight provision for the European Daylight Standard EN 17037:2018+A1

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Zhengyu Jin; Xintong Chen; [2023]
    Keywords : Daylight; Residential; European Standards; Compliance; Spatial Daylight Autonomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The European daylight standard EN 17037 was first introduced in 2018 with the aim of encouraging building designers to evaluate and ensure adequate daylight provision in buildings. However, experience has shown that the standard’s criteria are generally perceived to be too challenging to achieve. READ MORE

  5. 9. Analyzing Synthetic Spider Silk-based Diffraction Grids for the Sunshade Project

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Johanna D'Ciofalo Khodaverdian; Amira Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Sunshade project; Diffraction grating; Artificial spider silk; Climate change; Geoengineering;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change a proposed space-based geoengineering solutionis to screen off solar irradiance by placing a membrane in between the Earthand the Sun. The feasibility of such a project largely depends on minimizingthe mass of the shading screen and as an extension to the Sunshade projectthis thesis investigated how such a low-mass membrane could be designed.

  6. 10. Possibility for Positive Energy Retrofit in Borlänge

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Daniel Nay Myo Tun; Abideen Olaide Bakare; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The built environment accounts for 40% of annual carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. Among the total emissions, building operations generate approximately 27% annually. Other than this, building materials, infrastructural materials, and construction (embodied carbon) contribute to an additional 13% annually [1]. READ MORE
